It's probably a superfeat that Shannon pulls a coherent performance out of the contradictions (and scene-to-scene changes in wardrobe and hairstyle) handed to him by the character and filmmakers.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

The movie's perfectly understated, warts-and-all sense of time and place will send any suburban Gen Xer in the audience flashing right back to their less-cautious days, when mix tapes did heavy lifting as calling cards.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

Batmanglij and co-writer Marling do a calm job of muddying the relationship waters, playing with cult logic and patiently introducing side elements that cast a curious light on Maggie's claims.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

Scenes will wander from gross-out gag to sentimental schmaltz to pervy leer to cheap nostalgia within a 30-second span, utterly free of clear directorial guidance. Even worse, very little of it is remotely funny.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

Stanton is gleefully committed to letting this universe run wild on a big screen. The film's best qualities are its gigantic, densely packed, slightly loopy world-building and its unironic senses of humor and fun.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

To my thinking, this splendid low-key bummer of a ghost story was eventually undermined by the film's increasing reliance on shock-scares, in which something suddenly and noisily jumps into the frame, over and over and over.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

"Zoo" leaves you wondering whether Crowe was spooked by the mixed reaction to "Vanilla Sky" and "Elizabethtown" and chose to play it safe, remixing echoes of his usual screenwriting devices, in pursuit of a surefire hit.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

Niccol is practicing the old-school craft of making a barn-broad alternate-reality that forces you to think about the way we all consensually agree to participate in systems -- even when those systems are hopelessly screwed up.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT

It's a mild shame that "Dolphin Tale" director Charles Martin Smith and his screenwriters have chosen to lard the true-life saga up with a bunch of easily digested imaginary detail straight out of the bland Hollywood feel-good recipe mix.&dash; Oregonian - EDIT
